  1. Don't get me wrong.. It's not like I hate it
  2. After the first ride: do you guys know if you can brighten it up a bit? For instance a bit of red on the wheels (XCR stickers) and red fork stickers will go well with red grips.
  3. Hi guys What an absolute pleasure this bike has been! Coming from a fairly specced hardtail (scott scale 910 carbon all XT) this bike is a world apart. Even after a few rides I still smash sections on the downhills and technical sections at my local park, Wolwespruit. And it's no slouch going up either. I have been considering going over to a full suspension for some time and I can kick my butt for not doing it 5 years ago. Thanks for the excellent advice!
  4. Where did you buy the Lyne holder? Looks practical and I'm also not a fan of a seatpost cage.
  5. Thanks guys! this has been super helpful.

    For me the race scored 9/10. Was my first time and I tried it on a cyclo cross. Managed a 4:08 which I'm very happy with. I'll come back to try go get in under 4, but probably on a mtb this time. The bad-ish thing was for the long que in the sun to get beer, which we eventually got from the waterfront. A tip here to the organisers is to rather serve cans like they do at the big races in GP. It takes 15 seconds to pass someone anything between 1 and 24 cans of beer but muuuuch longer to make the same supply in draughts. also you don't have the plastic waste. just my 2c.

    Thanks dude! You would definitely need a 4x4 to drive over and back Breedts. I asume it's not the same for Ou Wapad?

    Cheers guys, think I'll give it a go! Personally think that fitness levels will also be key. I tend to make mistakes when I'm tired

    I have shimano hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors that perform pretty well on steep downhills. When you refer to cutting tires: is it very rocky?

    First time for me, and wondering whether it's do-able on a cyclo-cross bike? Running on a caadx ultegra with 38mm panaracer gravelking sk's (which is by the way the most fun you could have with metal between your legs!). Any advice will be appreciated.
  15. Would you do it again or rather stick to the 95 on a cyclo-cross?
  16. This will be my first Jock and the jitters have already started! Any advice from the veteran Jockers?
  17. Anyone from p-town going out to collect tomorrow? Willing to contribute to a juice bill as I'm stuck travelling [emoji58] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Hi guys does anyone know what's the total ascent on the 107?
  19. 'biathlon'? How do you qualify for that? 06:00 biathlon elites; 6:05 homoathlon elites; 6:10 lesboathlon elites; 6:15 orgy open? Or did you mean duathlon?
  20. Go with the knoblies dude just check the maximum pressure on your tires and do them 1/2 bar harder than that. This should help with enemy no 1: Dr Rolling Resisto. If you plan on 6 hours put your mom's saddle on your bike. This will help with enemy no 2: Mrs. Saddle Sorro. If you really wanna be cool take the gears off your bike and ride in your undies with a mo-hawk. This should kill enemy no 3: No Respecto.
